Palestinian factions refuse to extend Israel truce: Hamas

GAZA - All Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip have refused to extend a three-day truce with Israel, the militant Hamas group that dominates the enclave said Friday, as the ceasefire ended.

"All the Palestinian factions, including Hamas, have agreed not to renew the ceasefire because (Israel) is refusing to accommodate our demands, but negotiations continue in Cairo," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhum told AFP.
